New Street Square

The Robin Partington Architects-designed building provides 25,500sqm of office and ancillary space over ground, upper ground and 14 office floors.The 16-storey commercial development boasts features such as external terraces on the upper levels. One New Street Square is a 20-storey commercial building in the Holborn area of the capital, just off Fetter Lane.

The building comprises two basement levels, an upper ground floor with a reception area, retail units and a loading bay, commercial office space over 14 floors and two rooftop plant levels. Skanska’s team, working alongside MPB, is aiming for a BREEAM Excellent rating, through the efficient use of water and energy, minimising waste and maximum use of zero carbon materials. The building will have a bespoke glazed-framed unitised cladding system with solar shading fins.

The building sets back at upper levels to create a series of terraces with hard and soft landscaping that benefit from fantastic views across London. The floorplates offer great flexibility and enjoy stunning panoramic views. The structural arrangement of a centre core with perimeter columns is very efficient, with a typical floor plate providing circa 20,000ft2, of flexible Grade ‘A’ office floor space that maximises on the benefits of external awareness and stunning views.
